Description

ON SUNDAY (15 MARCH), A NEW GRADUATING CLASS OF JORDAN'S SPECIAL ARMED FORCES RECEIVED THEIR WINGS AT A SPECIAL CEREMONY.

H.E. SHERIFF NASSER BEN JAMIL, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE JORDANIAN ARMED FORCES PRESENTED THE TROOPERS WITH THEIR WINGS, WHICH THEY HAD EARNED AFTER PASSING THE VARIOUS AND DIFFICULT TRAINING STAGES. ALL PARATROOPERS MUST LAND ACCURATELY IN THE SPECIFIED DROPPING ZONE - TRAINING FOR THIS BRANCH OF THE ARMED FORCES IS CONSIDERED TO BE AMONG THE TOUGHEST IN THE WORLD.

NOT EVERYONE CAN BECOME A CADET; THESE MEN ARE CHOSEN TO UNDERGO SPECIAL ARMED FORCES TRAINING BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CAPABILITIES.
